David, Over the past few days, I have replaced all of my network cable to CAT6 cable. It did not perform any better. I have been using the program iperf on my LAN and these are the results. [root]# iperf -s ------------------------------------------------------------ Server listening on TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 4] local 192.168.*.* port 5001 connected with 192.168.*.* port 1914 [ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 508 MBytes 425 Mbits/sec ------------------------------------------------------------ This is much better than what I originally posted. 93.3 Mbit/s It may be a SAMBA thing. I have looked into that and have not been able to make any improvements. SFTP works a little better. With SFTP I transferred 6.3GB in 5min which is 140Mbit/s. Not close to what IPERF says my LAN speed is capable of. I will try another switch this week. -Matt
